Homework Statement I have models of scooter with some flawes made on purpos. I must improve this, and point all flaws. Homework Equations Lack of equations. The Attempt at a Solution In my opinion, we do not have bearings here. However I think it's not just one problem.

I've got a physics question. I've been looking at scooters, one of them is light weight with a 98mm wheel, and several others are heavier with bigger wheels. I'm having a hard time phrasing my question, but what I'm wanting to know is what benefits are there too the bigger tired scooters? They...

Hey, I've been lurking in the forums for a while and would still consider myself pretty new to the forums. I just want to know how many of you guys ride a motorcycle? What is your favorite style? How many of you know too much kinematics in order to ride a motorcycle safely? :DD Also how many...

Homework Statement My task is to design a lab in which i can solve for the coefficient of friction for a razor scooter( the little medal kids one). I planned on varying velocities and distance to show that the coefficient remained constant. Does anyone see any improvements that could me...

I recently received a speeding ticket for "allegedly" driving my scooter (Piaggio MP3 500) 72Mph on a stretch of road with a lower speed limit. I was traveling too fast and I deserve to pay a penalty; however, I am also hoping the judge will recognize that a speeding scooter is less potentially...

I am trying to construct a Newton Scooter (one powered by Newton's Third Law) using a spring. Basically, I am supposed to make the scooter travel 1.5 meters. I've tried using a spring from a retractable pen, but the vehicle I constructed seems to be going nowhere. It seems as though too much...

The case has finally come to a close with a 2 1/2 sentence... I don't think so. I'm sure his lawyers will find a way to stall long enough until Bush starts handing out Presidential pardons at the end of his term.

So, yes I want to get a scooter. It may sound funny to some people, but I think it will be great. I stopped driving, and I'm finding it a pain in the arse to get to places especially work and the bank, which are the only places I'm going to now because of this. I considered using the bus...

I have a 400W electric scooter and it's just too slow. It uses a 400W, 20Ah motor. So I have a few questions: What is the easiest way to make this thing go faster without changing the controller? Will I burn the motor out with a 36V battery pack (the pack is 3 twelve volt, twelve amp...

I just bought a 1500x motorboard scooter and it is powered by two 350 watts electric motor. The wheel is friction driven and the drive train is very direct. If I weigh 150 lbs and the scooter weigh 22 lbs, in theory how fast can I go if the to motor is at peak performance? The scooter's...
